Student Discipline

Mesquite ISD follows a cycle of student success that involves interventions by teachers, administrators, parents and other resources reasonably calculated to prevent recurrence of misconduct and misbehavior.

In Mesquite ISD, the goal of student discipline is to collaboratively work with the student, parents and school staff to dtermine the root causes of unacceptable behavior or poor attendance and to devise a plan to change the behavior to help the student become successful.

Discipline Appeals Process

Campus-level discipline decisions (detention, ISS, ISIP, OSS) may be appealed directly to the campus principal and no further unless the student was denied due process or the Student Code of Conduct was not followed.
